The university’s idea of fencing in and the tree people’s idea of taking nude pictures each seem to need double-takes to be effective up at the at the Nuclear-Free-Vegan-Save-the-Trees Zone lately. Some have actually been entertaining.
Like last time, we were still asleep while construction crews pounded away at campus property/purported native burial ground to erect Fence No. 2. We suppose it cuts down on the potential for more violent tree-sitting like that of our copy-catting hippies in Santa Cruz, but the Clog has a different theory.
We’re convinced that working early is a university strategy referencing “South Park’s” “Grey Dawn,” in which the townspeople can’t fight the early morning tendencies of their enemy, the elderly.
But in this case, there’s no Country Kitchen Buffet to lock from the inside for ultimate victory– only the average 25 feet distance theoretically designed to facilitate voluntary tree people evacuation.
Because, for all you English and rhetoric majors out there, Zachary RunningWolf’s battle cry for “Some of our warriors … to have to go to jail” connotes that peaceful-minded attitude the university is expecting now that UCPD can (still legally) give the boot to the protesters.
